We stopped for lunch on a road trip. First time at Nick's. Perfect lunch place. Service was friendly. My wife had a great Greek salad and I had a club sandwich with fries. All good. Restrooms very very clean. Recommend highly.

A local steadfast and community hub, this sentinel of Madison is open on generators in the roughest of storms. As a kid I canoed here the morning after hurricane Sandy. This is my it pains me to leave this review. The quality of the food is a 0/10, their idea of an omelet with cheese is a Kraft singles plopped on top. Their potatoes are bland as soap and their hash is both from a can and worse than most types of dog food. Their cinnamon toast is Stop and Shop brand, and somehow not even the good kind. Their prices are the same as better quality local options. Service is decent, two staff today, regular rounds, kindly locals. 4/5. Ambiance is 4/5, the old style was a quintessential 70's diner but the son's renovations have brought it to an early 2010's vibe. It has those gray panel floors from HGTV, you know the ones. There are those posters, advertisements, community wall, it's cute. This review is poor because of the food.

This is a fabulous diner a short walk from the beach in Madison. A really convenient breakfast spot…read morewhen staying at the Madison Beach Hotel. The breakfast sandwich with sausage was hearty and delicious, and the breakfast potatoes complemented it well. The strawberry banana pancake included the perfect amount of fruit, with crispy edges and fluffy inside. It's the perfect size to split as "breakfast dessert"! The service was no frills but very friendly, and the ambiance is a classic diner feel. I appreciated the list of coffee drinks and bar menu as well. Great local diner to try out when you're in the area!

At one point, I got up to ask the bartender instead of continuing to wait. Pancakes were absolutely massive but fairly bland - with three varieties, they all tasted pretty much the same. Very little fruit. Massive amount of butter that saturated each dish and made them borderline inedible. The vibe is rustic mixed with old diner. The table was not clean and had crumbs from last night's dinner service. Overall, very underwhelming. Only reason it got two stars instead of one is the portions are gigantic.

Again, another perfect dining experience at Lenny and Joe's…read more I started this visit with a locally crafted birch beer, which was cold and refreshing. This is the perfect compliment to any meal here. My meal consisted of the three fried combo, which consisted of fresh fish, shrimp, and calamari. The sides included were coleslaw and french fries. If you wanted, you could substitute onion rings for the french fries, and sweet potato fries for a couple dollars extra. My dinner arrived quickly with a generous portion of fried fish, fried calamari, and a medium sized fried shrimp. The side of coleslaw was delicious, mayonnaise based, and on a little bit of sweet side was perfectly portioned and complimented the meal. The french fries placed underneath this scrumptious fried triple medley were well seasoned and nice and crunchy, these seem like they just came out out of the fryer later and were very very fresh I loved the fried fish; delicately battered and deep fried separate from the calamari and shrimp as it had a different type of coating on it and it just hit on point. The calamari were the tentacles and the rounds, perfectly deep-fried and seasoned to perfection. They just were so enjoyable as the fried shrimp were delicately well seasoned medium sized and accompanied this dish perfectly. My financial advisor, who I took to dinner had the fish and chips which he totally enjoyed and wants to come back again and get. He also had a birch beer and polished that off like a pro. I really wanted the world famous Rhode Island clam chowder to begin with but seeing I'm getting older I don't think I could've finished the whole meal and the clam chowder. I'll be sure to order this world famous Rhode Island clam chowder. The next time I come because it really is can't miss. Our server was excellent! This nice lady just took care of us like a mama would at the dinner table. She was so accommodating, checked in at the right times nice warm smile, a wonderful server who made our experience just a little better. The restrooms were good, not great, but they were clean enough and it got my by until I get home after the one hour 10 minute drive. In closing, I love this place. It is my go to for seafood when I need something that includes an enjoyable experience.. Lenny Joe's is always consistent with their product. You can't go wrong coming here when you're at the shoreline or make this a destination. Lenny and Joe's is the perfect shoreline experience for dinner. It is casual, and consistent always with their fresh seafood and wonderful service.

Food isn't very tasty…read more This place is great if you have a family and don't care what the food taste like. Lobster roll is bland. $30 for an experience that makes you crave biting into a lemon for flavor. My wife's fish was so dry and flavorless that you would think you are eating a fish sandwich in Arizona. Clam chowder is an insult to New England. It's soupy and not creamy. Only come here if you don't care about spending $$$ for food that genuinely makes you question your life choices. The atmosphere was nice. Service wasn't great but that was understandable given the dinner rush. Owner: i respect that you read feedback and respond. I wanted to love this place but was disappointed. Please include a lemon with your fish dishes. That little of a difference may change a lot of opinions about the food quality here. I'm only writing this because this was my first lobster roll in 2 years and I was heart broken.

The real Clam Castle is back and better than ever! We've been here twice since the reopening and I…read morecan't wait for a few more visits over the summer. The fried cod was some of the best I've ever had. Fish tacos were very good - love the red pepper remoulade it comes with. French fries and fried clam strips are both excellent - though I agree with another reviewer who mentioned that the clams could be a bit crispier. The two times we've gotten them, they needed just a touch more crunch and golden brown color. Still very good and the best around!!! But feels like they would benefit from a bit more time in the fryer. Glad you're back, Clam Castle!!

Serving fried steamers, passing off as whole belly clams. Photos of past reviews show clearly that…read morethey know what an actual whole belly is. Just be warned-- before you shell out MP, what you are getting. Pro Tip: whole bellies do NOT have a "neck" like steamers do and this was clear as day a steamer. Clam shack staff confirmed when I held it up to inquire why they are frying steamers that this was, in fact, a steamer. And as a side note, fried steamers are terrible. They did reimburse for two orders however, won't return if this is what the kitchen/owner tries to serve! I guess the "clam" castle has shifted focus to lobster sandwich boats. You can't delete my review here!!
